The new Caramel Frappuccino at Starbucks Coffee uses a new caramel sauce and vanilla bean-flavored syrup. This is as part of their "Why Not Coffee?" campaign which marks 30 years of Starbucks in Japan. You will find an article on City-cost about Starbucks' "Why Not Coffee?" Caramel Frappuccino remains my personal favorite drink at Starbucks Coffee. I don't go to Starbucks very often, but over the years I have tried a few different ones. But I'll always come back to the caramel frappuccino! I find it just sweet, smooth, and comforting enough to purchase over and over again.

The "new" version doesn't taste any different to me than the last version. But as I said above, I don't go to Starbucks Coffee that often. Sometimes it can be a year between visits. So, it would be very hard for someone like me to discern the difference in taste. Supposedly, the new version has a stronger vanilla aroma - again, that went unnoticed by me. Like all of Starbucks drinks - it's not cheap, but I do find the price fair enough. Especially when I have it in store and can spend two hours over the drink without any pressure to leave. A Starbucks drink usually does last me a couple of hours, because they are often too sweet to knock back.
